Waves transfer energy not matter. so simply put, the water doesn't move. it's just being used as a road that energy uses to get from point a to b. it's easier to think of some thing on the water rather than the water it self. like a cork floating on the surface. when a wave passes through the cork. the cork goes up to the peak of the wave and then down to the trough of the wave and then back at equilibrium. it only moved up and down since it was following the wave pattern. if the waves transfered matter as well as energy then the cork would begin to get pushed by the wave and move towards the direction of travel
Parallax angles of less than 0.01 arcsec are very difficult to measure from Earth because of the effects of the Earth's atmosphere. This limits Earth based telescopes to measuring the distances to stars about 1/0.01 or 100 parsecs away.
Explanation:
The question is not complete, here is the complete question
<em>"Beatrice and the Elevator Beatrice, a middle school student, is visiting a very tall office building and notices that she feels heavier when the elevator car is traveling up and lighter when the elevator car is traveling down. After making these observations, Beatrice comes back to the building and stands on a bathroom scale that measures her weight as she travels up and down in the elevator.</em>
<em>1. . What question is Beatrice trying to answer?</em>
<em>2. What is one variable Beatrice could change in her investigation? What might she figure out if this
</em>
<em> variable was changed"</em>
1. Beatrice is trying to observe the influence of the elevator movement on her weight, Hence the question is<em> "will the elevator movement cause her weight to change"</em>
therefore moving upward the reading on the scale will increase
Reading=mg+ma
downward
Reading will reduce
Reading=mg-ma
2. The independent variable is the acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/s^2
while the dependent variables are
i. The elevators acceleration
ii. Beatrice's mass
we know that,
Frequency = 1/ time period
hence, Feq = 1/5 ===> 0.2 Hz
hence, wave velocity = freq * wavelength
hence,
V = 0.2 * 100
==> Wave velocity = 20 m/s
The vector force on the unit positive charge placed at any location in the field defines the strength of the electric field at that point. The charge used to determine field intensity (field strength) is known as the test charge. Now, a field line is defined as a line to which the previously mentioned field strength vectors are tangents at the relevant places. When we study positive charge field lines, the field strength vectors point away from the positive charge. If there is a negative charge anywhere in the vicinity, the field lines that began from the positive charge will all terminate at the negative charge if the value of the negative charge is the same as the value of the positive charge. Remember that the number of field lines originating from positive charge is proportional to the charge's value, and similarly, the number of field lines terminating at negative charge is proportionate to the charge's value. As a result, if all charges are equivalent, all lines originating from the positive charge terminate at the negative charge. If the value of the positive charge is greater than the value of the negative charge, the number of lines ending at the negative charge will be proportionally less than the number of lines beginning at the positive charge. The remaining lines that do not end at the negative charge will go to infinity. If the positive charge is less, all lines from it terminate at a negative charge, and any other reasonable number of ines terminate at a negative charge from infinity. We should also keep in mind that the number of lines that run perpendicular to the field direction across a surface of unit area is proportional to the field strength at that location. As a result, lines are dense in the strong field zone and sparse in the low intensity region.
